* Crowley tricks Muriel into taking him to Heaven and proceeds to walk around like he owns the place, commenting that angels only guard the outside and don't have security measures against successful infiltrators. He's then shown a file, but Muriel explains it's locked to them and can only be accessed by Dominions or higher… only for Crowley to flip the cover open anyhow and note that Heaven never changes their passwords.

** Which is foreshadowed in the first episode: Crowley was one of the angels who created the universe, on at least the same level if not higher as Aziraphale, who is "The Angel of The Eastern Gate". The one who got to crank start it and say "Let it be light" in fact, which is not something you let some nobody underling do.

** Once they're backstage Furfur confronts the duo with a picture of them that he's going to show Hell as proof of their "fraternising". Aziraphale uses sleight of hand to swap the picture for a flier for the theatre without anyone else in the room noticing.

* In "The Hitchhiker", Aziraphale and Crowley are due to perform a BulletCatch as part of a stage magic act. Moments before the trick they realise their ability to perform miracles have been blocked, so they have no way to save Aziraphale if something goes wrong. Despite zero rehearsal and Crowley ''never firing a gun before'' he's able to successfully miss Aziraphale the way the trick requires.

* After leaving the Garden, Adam and Eve are attacked by a lion, with Adam fending it off using the burning sword he got from Aziraphale. Awesome on its own, since Adam has never had to kill before yet does it in defense of his pregnant lover, but also means that ''all of humanity'' exists because Aziraphale was kind enough to give them something they could use to keep themselves warm on cold nights.

** Aziraphale-as-Crowley snarks his way through the entire thing, including asking if Hell has rubber ducks and casually ordering the Archangel Michael to miracle him up a towel, shocking her so much she ''actually does it''. (Even better, this is actually Aziraphale pretending to be Crowley. He's never openly rebelled before, and he's surrounded by some of the worst possible people on either side to piss off, and he pulls everything off flawlessly.) It doubles as [[Heartwarming/GoodOmens2019 Heartwarming]] because this is probably how Aziraphale sees Crowley - confident, snarky and dismissive in the face of overwhelming odds because of his inherent belief in his own imagination to get him out of any situation.
** Triply heartwarming when you remember that Aziraphale's greatest fear is the Hell will destroy Crowley permanently,or that Crowley will destroy himself first to deny them the satisfaction, to the point where he stopped speaking to him for nearly 80 years after his first request for Holy Water. By hamming it up and making Crowley look as dangerous as possible, he's protecting him by creating a reputation of a demon so dangerous, Hell wouldn't ''dare'' come after him.

* Adam facing off against ''Satan'', and as Crowley and Aziraphale had advised him, he has just one chance at using his RealityWarper powers to triumph. What does Adam do? He yells at the giant Devil, "You are not my father!" Satan is genuinely taken aback and fades into smoke, screaming. According to Crowley, what Adam did caused a CosmicRetcon since if Satan is not Adam's father, he was never the Antichrist, and the Apocalypse cannot happen.
** Added to that, just the way Crowley and Aziraphale tell Adam what he needs to do, along with the shows signature tone of music, just adds on to it.

** Crowley-as-Aziraphale blowing hellfire at Gabriel, Sandalphon and Uriel, and they are [[OhCrap scared shitless]] in response. "Aziraphale" has a very gleeful smile after doing that. Crowley's probably seen how intimidated Aziraphale is in the presence of his fellow angels, and he does his utmost to make sure that Aziraphale is seen as effortlessly intimidating as possible, and worthy of his superiors' respect and awe.
